authentic rating

Data lovers adore it for bottomless customization: any metric on the watch face, intervals with voice cues, external heart-rate monitor, watch faces tuned to your numbers. People even drop Garmin and buy an Apple Watch just for it, and support is responsive. The flip side of that power: a mountain of settings with no documentation scares off newcomers, there are Bluetooth issues (no more than two devices) and complaints about Tip Jar charges, and the complex interface needs a deep dive at the start.

About the rating

Reviews are very technically specific: intervals with voice cues, external heart-rate monitor, the two-Bluetooth-device limit, responsive support, switching from Garmin for this app. textAvg 4.42 is close to storeAvg 4.69, pct5 77, and the praise is concrete rather than templated.
